What about makes using exceptions better than using trigger_error or overwriting that with your own error handler using set_error_handler or calling your own error function?

To me exceptions aren't worth it since you have to use try/catch blocks when I could just use a trigger_error or something similar right where I want the error to be spit out.

I guess if a function or something could return different types of errors then setting up multiple catch blocks would be good. But then again there's ways to do that without using exceptions.
